Extremeness of Seasons Determined by Planetary Motion Parameters

by Bethany Ehlmann 7 November 20227 November 2022

We’ve long known that a planet’s orbital period and tilt determine length and intensity of seasons. We now see rotation rate matters too: max temperature shifts poleward as rotation slows.

Ceres: Missing Craters, Crust Thickness Variation by Interior Convection

by Bethany Ehlmann 18 July 202231 January 2023

Models show that several puzzling features about Ceres’ topography, gravity anomalies, and crater size distribution may be explained by asymmetric hemispherical convection due to radiogenic heating.

Fingerprints of Jupiter Formation

by Bethany Ehlmann 16 June 202127 January 2022

Meteorite isotopes, meteorite paleomagnetics, and planet formation models collectively show Jupiter formation via first slow then fast collection of material by core accretion in <5 million years.

Is Atmospheric Oxygen a Planetary Signature for Life?

by Bethany Ehlmann 21 April 202115 March 2022

While some Earth-like worlds can generate significant O2 only by biology, “waterworlds” and “desert worlds” can build up O2 even without life because of chemical changes from atmosphere loss to space.
